A propos de la location avec Lokappart :

Megan (August 2017)
I stayed in this apartment for a full month and felt completely comfortable. The space is bright and clean with beautiful simplistic decor and all necessary amenities. The property's management staff was incredibly accommodating and responsive. They made sure I had everything I needed and went above and beyond in many areas of hospitality. The apartment is located in a very exciting, hip area of the city. Located near the metro, train station, bus stops, Lafayette mall, cute cafes, etc. 10/10 would recommend!!

Duncan (November 2016)
Very nice Studio flat, it is a good size and well laid out and clean. Fast internet and lots of TV channels if you want them. We didn't but if you want to cook the kitchen is quite large and usable compared to many Paris studio appartments with a handy breakfast bar to sit at. Very close to plenty of metros, bus routes and trains, lots of shops, restaurants and markets nearby. the 14th is a very nice area of Paris with plenty of things to keep you busy with easy links to the rest of the city.

Michael (June 2016)
"Great efficient apartment in a very convenient location!"
My cousin and I stayed in this apartment for two weeks. We loved the location in Montparnasse! So close to metro connections that take you everywhere in the city. Nice quiet building with very friendly residents. Very efficient space was perfect for the two of us. We made daily visits to the many local grocery stores and prepared most of our meals at the apartment which saved so much money, though there were many wonderful restaurants within blocks if you wanted to dine out. The washing machine and dryer worked perfectly which added so much comfort to our vacation. The bus from CDG dropped us off and picked us up one block away at Gare Montparnasse. The Lokappart team was very attentive and quick to respond to requests and questions. We really enjoyed our stay!

David (May 2016)
Lokappart and the team were great hosts. My wife and I had never been too Europe before (we're from the U.S.) and we struggled with Paris' metro system which delayed us quite a bit for our check in. Regardless, our host was very helpful and navigated us to the apartment once we were in town without issue. The neighborhood feels very safe and has a lot of local conveniences including a local market, bars across the street, and access to one of the main metro stations. Overall I would recommend this place to any couple that's willing to take on a true Parisian experience. Please note for all the U.S. folks back home that Parisians live in extremely tiny flats. This one is roughly 170-200 sq.ft. The bed is actually pretty comfortable.

John (September 2015)
What a great 8 days we spent in the Montparnasse area - with our apartment so close to exciting patisseries, restaurants, shops, Wednesday and Saturday markets and 3 close Metro stations for visiting exciting Paris locations. The apartment was very well equipped and a great Paris base.

Andrea (August 2015)
Overall, very good value. For an apartment this size in Paris, having lived there before, I know that the kitchen is huge and the bathroom very nice. The kitchen and bathroom are of generous size for a studio in Paris. The apartment is situated over a restaurant and right next door to another. It is well situated down a quieter street but near a variety of bus and metro stops. The Monoprix is around the corner, and the Picard just across from that. The apartment is clean, the water hot, the wifi is good, and the bed comfortable. Definitely a good choice if you are on a budget!!!

Morten (July 2015)
A good place to stay when in Paris. For the money this is good, I will not hestitate to stay here again :)
Easy to get there because of good guide and communication. Nice and clean appartment Information about construction.

Ona (March 2015)
We have been 4 days and it was perfect, we have all what we need there. It was near of every thing, we can visit a lot of things walking. You have a lot of supermarkets next to de apartment and it's so beautiful, welcome and comfortable. Despite the appearance of the entrance to the block of flat, when you go inside the apartment is perfect.

Xingling (February 2015)
Nice location and very comfortable room. I even received little gift. Looking forward to next travel with this accomdation.

Jordan (December 2014)
For the price if the apartment this was completely worth it. Super clean studio, Erik was a very responsive host. He helped us a lot by being flexible for our arrival, giving us lots if information about the studio, area and tips for where to go. I would definitely return!

Hannah (December 2014)
Lokappart was a fantastic host and the apartment offered all the facilities we needed. I highly recommend a stay in this apartment.

Osvaldo (November 2014)
“A honey moon dream”
This travel was perfect.
Begin with the apartment that we rent. A clean place, everything new and very comfortable. The localization was great, close to a metro station, many restaurants and bars.
My wife and me visited many landmarkes: Louvre Museum , Eiffel Tower, Chateau de Verssailles (the best place that we visited), Cathédrale Notre Dame and Basílica de Sacré Cœur. Everything was great. We decided to walk a lot, close to 15km per day. This was the best choice because we knew beatutiful places and restaurants without a planning.
Paris it's a magic place and a good place to spend your Honeymoon.

Francisco (November 2014)
Lokappart staff was very nice and was waiting for me when I arrived. The location is perfect and the apartment is really beautiful, clean, and warm! I would really recommend it to anyone

Julian (November 2014)
My wife and I had a blast. We got to met. Erik, a really cool guy , Who gave us all the information need it. The apartment has a great location, close to gare montparnase, where you can go basically anywhere, there is a nice bakery 40 feet and around the corner there is an Street market every wednesday and saturday. There is a Fnac store at the station where you can bus admission tickets and the museum pass,if you are into that. Overall a great experience highly recommended. Thanks Lokappart and the team.

Andy (October 2014)
Even though I never met Erik in person, our schedules didn't line up, he was very welcoming and helpful. I was sent a very detailed outline of what to expect and how to get in to the Apt. He was accessible via phone or email for any issues I might have which were none and he checked in with me halfway through my stay to make sure things were going alright. It was true to its posting, clean and contemporary and very convenient. It was right across from the Montparnasse Metro station that had access to trains that went to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame and more. In the immediate area of the apt there were plenty of food options from French cuisine to Sushi. The only thing I would note would be that the shower is a little awkward and if you are bigger than 5'11 you could run into some issues. Overall it was an amazing experience and I was always happy to make my way back to the apt at the end of the day. I would definitely recommend this apt for anyone traveling to Paris for vacation.

Sabina (October 2014)
Apartment was great, great location, clean and perfect for ONE! it was kind of tight for my husband and I but we figured well only sleep there. Erik was a great host

Bernadette (September 2014)
Erik was super helpful and allowed great flexibility when we had last minute change of plans. He did respond to emails and Skype message (!!) real quick so you do not need to worry if your email/ message is missed.
Also, nice and clean apartment!

Rocco (August 2014)
The location was good and most practical; clean with all the facilities. Easy to reach wherever you want and full of drug stores. The staff was really nice and professional. I really recommend this apartment and enjoyed the stay.

Gustavo (July 2014)
Really nice place, everything is new, just like the pictures. There is a market and a metro station a few steps away. Nice location, near to jardin du Luxembourg, and is possible to walk until the Eiffel Tower (30 min walkig). Very helpfull staff.

Anastasia (July 2014)
I don't think we ever actually met our real host but the two people we did meet, one to greet us and one to bid us farewell, were very nice! There was plenty of information left about subways which was very helpful, and the apartment was very clean! However, there was no hand soap in the bathroom or detergent for the laundry machine. Our stay was lovely and the apartment, although very empty, was comfortable, clean, well furnished and set up to create the most amount of space possible! And there was a full ice tray upon arrival which was truly a gift in the heat!

Jordy (July 2014).
The apartment was a little small, but it had all you need. It was clean, nice location and easy to find. We enjoyed our stay in Paris allot.
Bien cordialement,

Jennifer (June 2014)
Erik is a great host. He was responsive and helpful, and I very much enjoyed staying in his place. The apartment itself is in a great location. It was very clean when I arrived, and it proved to be the perfect size for one person. I'm very glad I stayed there, as I was able to really enjoy my stay in Paris without paying for an overpriced hotel.

Inga (June 2014)
The host is Erik and a group, and one of them who was getting the apartment ready for us allowed us to leave our luggage ahead of agreed time, which was helpful. We returned after he was done, he explained how everything works. The apartment was VERY clean, and looked exactly as presented in the web site. When the wireless security did not work on our MacBooks, Erik provided a cable which solved the problem. Apparently the wireless security was not a problem for prior tenants. It was not a problem for our iPhone either. The area is very central, close to the Montparnasse many nice restaurants and other sites. We walked to major museums, the Louvre, d'Orsay, Rodin, the Luxemburg Gardens, and to many nice restaurants in the Latin Quarter. The host was quick responding and flexible to our changing arrival and departure time. Thank you !

House Rules

A few basic very common-sense rules will apply for your booking. Please read them. Booking a property means you accept ALL of them.

ID
On arrival we will ask for the guest’s ID, check it and take a photo (Valid ID’s are: passport, national identity card or driving license).

Check in and Check out
Standard Check-in is between 2pm and 8pm, Standard Check-out is before noon, all by appointment.
We can set a mutually convenient time after the booking is confirmed. If there is no previous or following tenant you may arrive earlier than 2pm or later than 8pm, or stay later than noon respectively. This needs to be validated on a case by case basis a couple of days prior to you arriving in Paris and is subjected to a 50 EUR supplement.
Early Check-in: Between 10am and 2pm
Late Check-in: Between 8pm and 10pm
Late Check-out: Between noon and 6pm.
For early/late check-in/out, there is a 50 EUR cash fee due on arrival.

Damage
The guest will be held responsible for any damage caused to the apartment either by themselves, their group or any other person they let into the apartment during the period of the rental.

Noise
Apartments in Paris are often located in old buildings where noise insulation is quite poor. Please respect the neighbors by avoiding being too loud (music, high heeled shoes, loud arguing, banging doors). If Lokappart was to be called by neighbors or others because of the guests noise levels between the hours of 11pm and 7am the entire security deposit will be withheld automatically.
Unsurprisingly: No parties are allowed.

Smoking in the apartment
We have a strict no-smoking policy for all our apartments. Smoking in the apartment (even with open windows) thus violates our rules. The full security deposit will be withheld automatically and used to wash curtains, sofa covers etc.

Cleaning
While basic cleaning is provided (and paid for) after your stay, the guest will still need to wash dishes and take waste outside of the flat before check-out. Any abnormal dirt (used pans, pots, severe stains on the floor, walls etc) will require extra hours of cleaning on our behalf and give rise to partial or full use of the security deposit.

House linen
If sheets, towels, pillows, duvets or other linen are stained the guest must inform Lokappart and Lokappart will withhold parts or all of the deposit to get the concerned elements cleaned by professional.

Visitors
The apartment is rented ONLY to the person who booked or his/her group. The guest is not allowed to have visitors over (except for the occasional lunch/coffee etc). The total number of people in the apartment must not exceed the total number of people the apartment is advertised for at any given time. The guest is fully responsible for any person he/she lets into the apartment during the rental.
Unsurprisingly: No parties are allowed.

Mail and parcels
The guest will not be able to receive mail or parcel deliveries at the apartment, nor will the guest have access to the mailbox. The guest may consult Lokappart to find an alternative arrangement.
